Engine block heater cord
I ask parts man at the Ford dealer how much does the cord for the engine heater cost, looked in his books and said he would discount it to me,he said it listed for 60.00 and I could have it for 50.00. I have read on here but couldn't find it again how much some of you paid and also ones from Int. Need part # for Int. and Fords part #. So what did you pay for the cord. Thanks

You're a better man than I am. If you take the time to route and tie the stock cord like they are when they come with them, it takes at LEAST 1/2 an hour.

There was another recent thread that lead me to www.powerstrokeshop.com who has the cord for $15.46 plus shipping. Just ordered it... total cost was $24.95.
Believe me, this wasn't the easiest item to find without paying an arm and a leg. I've seen it listed/advertised between $50.00 and $90.00. Talk about product markup!

block heater cord set
ive been on line looking for links on this ZeroStart, with hopes that i could find something local. Heres what i found.
This zerostart is made by Phillips & Temro. (Zerostart) The local O'reilys had it in stock for $20.99. Their part # is 3600008. We dont need them in Houston Much, buts its nice to have one when you do.

And this:
How do I get the most life from my Kat’s Heater products?
If your Kats product is installed and maintained properly, it will provide you with years of reliable performance. It is important to follow all instructions as indicated when doing the initial installation of the selected part(s), this includes making sure that all air is properly bled from the system. Always unplug your Kats heating product before starting the vehicle, as the heater should never be energized while the vehicle is running, since this will significantly shorten the products life. It is also a good idea to use distilled water for your coolant/water mixture. This will guard against the buildup of calcium and lime, and keep your unit heating for years to come.

i dont see why you could not. The heater does not have any tie to the electrical ignition. The only thing i could see is the oil heating up real quick once the engine is turned on. May not have any bearing.
